E2E multi-agent smart network CapEx - Phase III

URN C26.0.908

Topics AI (Artificial Intelligence), Customer experience management, Intent-based networking

Winner

This Catalyst is transforming how telcos plan and invest, using a next-generation planning solution for AI-enabled, intent-based orchestration of multi-domain networks, delivering faster payback, reduced risk, and superior network performance.

Project companies

As Communication Service Providers (CSPs) accelerate their Autonomous Network transformation, they face two critical challenges: determining where to invest across the autonomy journey and ensuring that network expansion decisions generate measurable business value. The E2E Multi-Agent Smart Network CapEx – Phase III Catalyst introduces a TM Forum-aligned framework that connects Autonomous Network strategy, AI-ready data foundations, investment planning and network deployment through intent-driven multi-agent orchestration. The project extends previous Smart CapEx phases by integrating three key TM Forum transformation pillars: * Autonomous Network Levels (ANL) as a Service for maturity assessment and investment prioritization cross-domain * Data as a Product (DaaP) for AI-ready, governed and reusable data products * Multi-Agent Intent-Based Orchestration for autonomous execution from planning to deployment Using AI-driven Smart Capex Platform for forecasting, optimization and intent management, the solution evaluates thousands of rollout scenarios across RAN, FTTH/FWA, Transport and Core domains, identifying investment plans that maximize ROI, customer experience and sustainability outcomes. The Catalyst demonstrates how CSPs can move from fragmented planning processes to a closed-loop, intent-driven operating model where business objectives are translated into investment strategies, network deployment actions and Autonomous Network evolution. The result is a unified transformation framework capable of delivering: * 15–20% CapEx optimization * 15–25% Energy OpEx reduction * Faster planning and deployment cycles * Improved customer experience and market growth

Resources

The E2E Multi-Agent Smart Network CapEx – Phase III Catalyst demonstrates how Communications Service Providers (CSPs) can transform Autonomous Network strategy into executable investment and deployment actions through a TM Forum-aligned framework. The project combines Autonomous Network Levels (ANL) assessment, Data as a Product (DaaP), AI-driven Smart CapEx planning, Intent Management and Multi-Agent Orchestration to create a connected lifecycle from transformation strategy to network deployment. Using more than 90 TM Forum assets, the Catalyst shows how operators can identify autonomy gaps, prioritize investments, govern AI-ready data products, optimize network expansion decisions and orchestrate deployment activities through intent-driven autonomous workflows. The resources below describe the business value, architecture, standards usage, ANL and DaaP contributions, intent-based orchestration framework, open-source reference implementation (GitHub) and industry contributions delivered by the Catalyst. Together, they provide a practical blueprint for accelerating the evolution toward Level 4 Autonomous Networks while improving ROI, customer experience and operational efficiency.
